In two or three hours I'll be dead. So begins the chilling last testament of Gus Landor, a retired New York City police constable, whose numerous talents include code-breaking, riot control and the 'gloveless interrogation'. A young cadet has been found hanged at a military academy on the shores of the Hudson River. Before his body could be buried, however, it was stolen and his heart brutally carved out. Fearing a scandal, the top brass at West Point have summoned Landor to help catch the culprit, and keep his discoveries away from prying eyes. As Landor embarks on a thrilling adventure to solve the case, he uncovers a series of dark secrets and finds unlikely assistance in the form of a mischievous young cadet named Edgar Allan Poe. Full of drama and unexpected twists, The Pale Blue Eye is a brilliantly haunting and atmospheric historical mystery. ? 'Brilliantly plotted and completely absorbing, ending with the kind of shock that few novelists are able to deliver' Sunday Times ? 'Bayard's shockingly clever and devoutly unsentimental new mystery reads like a lost classic . . . Bayard reinvigorates historical fiction, rendering the 19th century as if he'd witnessed it firsthand' New York Times","brand":"John Murray Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53231826469206,"sku":"9781399810050-G","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53362562531670,"sku":"9781399810050-V","price":3.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781399810050_1_a4d3a120-eb42-42aa-a16a-4d2d33a1b118.jpg?v=1777919507","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/bayard-louis-the-pale-blue-eye-9781399810050","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
